Explaining the inner workings of the current system would take quite an amount of time which is better spent on fixing bugs and improving the system. Knowing how it works doesn't make any difference other than satiating your curiosity. Even if an official explanation with formulas and everything existed, very few people would be able to or interested in understanding it. The current system has been designed so that players worry less about the outcomes of their games and more about playing, enjoying and giving their best at all times.

I guess my desire to understand the system is because it did not make sense to me that I was still in gifted after winning so consistently for so long. I wanted to know how you are calculating my skill level, so I can better manage my expectations for when I will be promoted. I am using past tense because I just got promoted to masters! Hooray.

Also I was under the impression that Outwitters uses some form of ELO based on something ArtNJ said back when he was a betatester. Not sure why you appear to have such animosity for the system...it is very reliable and elegant in its simplicity. But not the only system that works I am sure.
